At the end of the 2013 season, if someone asked you whether or not a Penn State-Vanderbilt intrigued you, your answer likely would have been no.

What about now?

Since James Franklin left Vanderbilt for Penn State earlier this year, the intrigue of the Nittany Lions and the Commodores locking horns certainly increases. Any time you have a coach facing his former team, it makes for an interesting subplot.

Plus, you have the hurt feelings of Vanderbilt fans that feel their up-and-coming coach left too soon and in turn, "stole" some of Vandy's recruits and brought them to Penn State.
